Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 837 – Sharpei

Yang Junshan did not know that the Xishan Village had once had a Adept Realm Cultivator infiltrating force, nor did he know that there had once been an expert secretly plotting against the Yang family. When Li Laosan was called over by the Yang family law room to question him, he had already left the Yang family.

Compared to the distinct characteristics of the differentiation of the regions in the large prefectures, the names of the seven counties of Xi Zhou were extremely chaotic. The seven counties were respectively known as Sharal, Gorgon, Chenqian, Sang, Lan, Piao and Sang, and on the surface, the Xi Zhou should be the poorest region in this world. At the very least, a large portion of the Xi Zhou was covered by desert, desert, and Wasteland.

In fact, the overall strength of the Xi Zhou’s cultivation world was extremely high. It might not be able to compare to the Yanzhou’s or the Laizhou’s, but it was definitely superior to that of the other large prefectures’. Among them, the Purple Wind Sect was also one of the top sects in the cultivation world, and in the entire cultivation world, only Ling Yizong, Flying Sword Sect’s, and a few other sects could compare to him.

The Xi Zhou’s natural environment may seem harsh, but no matter how desolate the area was, oases would always exist. Furthermore, perhaps because most of the Xi Zhou’s regions were too barren, the essence of heaven and earth in the entire Xi Zhou would gather towards these oases. Aesult, the existence of any oasis would usually contain a rich amount of cultivation resources, which could support a large or small settlement of cultivators.

Therefore, a phenomenon such as this occurred. When the cultivators of the other regions searched for cultivation resources in remote corners or buried deep underground, as long as they found an oasis in the desert, they would be able to solve the problem.

This caused the majority of the Xi Zhou’s cultivators to not have to wander around to gather all sorts of cultivation resources. On the other hand, other than the size of the various powers in the Xi Zhou depending on the number of high order cultivatohey had, there was a more direct standard which was to see how many oases the various powers had under their control and the size of these oases.

As the number one sect in the Xi Zhou, the territory occupied by the Purple Wind Sect may not seem to be that big. However, the majority of the territories in the Wu and Ge Counties and the rest of the counties were actually two and a half countries. However, in reality, the number and area of the oases in these three counties were respectively ranked third, second, and first among the seven prefectures.

Amongst the seven counties of the Xi Zhou, the most bountiful county was the most desolate one, which sounded absurd, but in the ears of cultivators, it was true that this was a vast and boundless desert, and the chance of encountering vegetation was much less than seeing corpses and bones that had not been buried by the desert. This was also the reason why the oases in the land of Shares contained a greater amount of resources than the other six counties.

The most important thing was that the Sharpei County was the only entrance to the Xi Zhou. Whenever the Desolation Jedi opened, a large area of Mirage descended, and any Adept Realm Cultivator who rode on it would have the chance to enter the Desolation Jedi through the Mirage.

Therefore, whenever the date for the opening of the Desolation Jedi neared, the frequency of high order cultivator’s visits increased. They only had to wait for the mirage to descend, and did not have to be on guard against each other like when opening the forbidden grounds.

Yang Junshan had arrived at a medium-sized oasis called the Jadeite Lake seven days ago. This walace where resources gathered under the control of the second-rate sects of the Xi Zhou, Guan Lan Sect. The foundation of this oasis was a small lake called the Jadeite Lake which was built in the center of the oasis, and this small lake, which had an area of less than seven kilometers, was supported by a large water vein.

A large water vein was enough to support a large lake with a circumference of a few hundred li. After the Yang family large water vein was formed, it was just an ordinary river that the Qinshui could not handle. For a long period of time, even Yang Junshan and the Triple Layered Spirit Treasure Formation were unable to solve the problem of the Qi being dispersed along the Qinshui, attracting many cultivators to settle down in the area.

In other words, the essence of the water vein was completely contained within the emerald lake. Yang Junshan did not even need to think to know that this lake definitely had a lot of rare treasures growing because of the water veins.

The shell was emerald in color, and it suddenly looked likerfect piece of emerald jade. And among these emerald clams, there was a spirit material known as the Jade Bead, which was of high quality and had a wide range of uses, and could be used to refine magical equipment, and after grinding it could also be used to refine medicinal pills and make talismans, and it was even used as a high-quality spirit material to lay down arrays, especially for illusory and maze arrays, which had an even better effect.

In order to protect this oasis, the Guan Lan Sect had sent at least three cultivators, including a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign.

The reason why Yang Junshan chose to stay at the Oasis at the Emerald Lake City, other than to avoid the oasis controlled by the Purple Wind Sect, was because of the Emerald Bead’s reputation. As an array master, he naturally knew about the Ten Array Nine Illusions, and as such, he could imagine how attractive the Jade Bead was to him.

Of course, the so-called “Ten Array Nine Illusions” didn’t mean that nine of the ten array formations were essentially illusory arrays, but rather that most array formations would use techniques related to illusory arrays. Even so, the Jade Bead was still a dream treasure for array masters.

However, the process of obtaining the bead was obviously not going smoothly. In the past few days, Yang Junshan had spent quite a bit of effort and expense, but only managed to get about ten low quality jade beads and five medium quality jade beads.

The Jadeite Pearls produced by the Jadeite Lake were divided into four grades of good quality. The medium and inferior quality Jadeite Pearls could be found in the oasis, and not a single one above the good quality Jadeite Pearls could be found. It was said that all of them were taken by the Guan Lan Sect.

After knocking against a wall a few times, Yang Junshan, who was not resigned to it, had naturally set his sights on the Jade Clam in the Emerald Lake. However, after some careful exploration, his heart sank a little, the entire Emerald Lake along with the large water veins below were all surrounded by an array, and the array had clearly been created by a Grandmaster!

It was not that Yang Junshan’s array stealing technique could not affect the Grandmaster level array, but it was extremely difficult for him to sneak into the Jadeite Lake without disturbing the Guan Lan Sect, furthermore, it was an extremely long process and the arrival of the Desolation Jedi was very near, so Yang Junshan obviously did not have time to take the risk.

Even though it would be an extremely long process, the Yang Family’s large water vein would still have a surplus of Qinshuo support, and in the future, even if he did not have to think of the Jade Bead, it would not be too far off.

On the other hand, the Yang Family’s large earth vein could possibly produce a Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures in the future, which was a natural jade pith coin that could be used to nurture spirit veins.

The reason was because of the small Spirit Marrow lode, according to the calculations of the Spirit Searching Inheritance that Yang Junxin had collected over the years, with the support of the large scale Earth Vein, there was a certain probability of nurturing a natural True Jade pith coin inside the Spirit Marrow lode. Although this chance was pitifully low, as long as there was sucossibility, it was enough to make the Yang Family to be indescribably excited.

Although the process of collecting the bead was not smooth, Yang Junshan had indeed gained a lot from trading the other special resources of the Emerald Lake. Yang Junshan had brought a lot of special resources that were unique to the Yuzhou with him, so these treasures were also hard to come by for the cultivators of the Xi Zhou, thus the transaction went extremely smoothly.

In fact, when the news of the arrival of the Desolation Jedi attracted many cultivators from the cultivation world to the Sha Province, the oasis that was under the control of various powers started to intentionally guide the trade with the cultivators from the foreign lands. After all, under the rampage of the foreign forces, the originally unreachable regions became even more blocked, and this gathering of wind and clouds could be considered aare opportunity to exchange knowledge.

In the seven days after Yang Junshan had arrived, he had participated in three trade fairs. One of them was hosted by the Guan Lan Sect, while the other two were private trade fairs. Through these three trade fairs, Yang Junshan had befriended a few Xi Zhond other high order cultivator s.

One day, after sealing the room in the inn, Yang Junshan was in the midst of using the Chess to deduce the array formation when he suddenly sensed the cultivators in the oasis to be in an uproar. Yang Junshan’s spirit was roused, he did not care about the Chess on the board deducing to a crucial point, and immediately shattered the seal in his room after he put away the Chess. Suddenly, he saw the wind and clouds start to rise outside the oasis, and the sky became dark.

“The mirage is about to descend!”

It was unknown who shouted out loudly. When Yang Junshan looked over, the entire world seemed to be like an apocalypse, as it was being swallowed up by the shadows. Eternal, Desolate, Lonely, Boundless, and the aura of death began to breed and expand in everyone’s heart.

Yang Junshan’s heart skipped a beat as his eyes became cold. He discovered that outside of the oasis, the world was coming to an end.
